The procession of stars that make the desert oasis home
continues. The newest addition to the musical superstars
in Las Vegas shows is
Bette Midler. One of the most celebrated singers
of the past thirty years, the Las Vegas Bette Midler show
will be filling the hole left by Celine Dion’s departure
at the end of 2007. She will be trading on and off
with Elton John,
as Caesar Palace shows continue to be some of the hottest
tickets in the city.
And much like her counterpart, Elton John, Bette
Milder in concert has long been famous for outrageous
antics and over the top performances, so it’s only
fitting that they will be sharing the bill at the forefront
of Caesar Palace shows. Bette Midler Las Vegas will
be much like recent Bette Midler concerts, with show stopping
numbers, complete with backing band and Midler’s
semi-famous backup singers, the Harlettes. Her musicians
and dancers have often used Bette Midler concerts as the
first step on the stairway to fame – in fact, she
will be competing with her former piano player, Barry
Manilow, for Las Vegas tourist dollars.
Since gaining fame in the early 70s, Bette Midler tickets have always been announced to great anticipation. And her new home will be no different, though the greater production values and significant theater will run them upwards of $100.
But Bette Midler concerts have never disappointed, and the Las Vegas Bette Midler shows will be no different. Beginning in February 2008, you too can see what Midler can bring to Sin City. Consequent press releases have promised "plenty of girls, gags and guffaws, her incomparable humor, the best song catalogue in American music and her fabulous 'Kiss My Brass' section."
Anyone who has attended Bette Midler concerts in the past
will find her new digs at Caesars Palace to be a perfect
setting for her untamed performances. Bette Midler
Las Vegas shows will run five nights a week – excluding
Mondays and Thursdays – at 7:30 pm. Be sure to check
out the Caesars
Palace seating chart prior to purchasing your tickets.

Artist Biography:
Bette Midler has been no stranger to giant stages – she made her Broadway debut in the original production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” She went on to further popularity in the city in the 70s, as she gained recognition for touring many of New York’s bathhouses, earning her a strong fan base with the burgeoning gay community of the time. She continues to win over new fans each year, and Bette Midler Las Vegas will only add to her significant popularity.
Winner of a special Tony Award in 1974, Midler’s
heart is clearly in New
York – her Broadway shows and special concerts
have generated millions of dollars - but Vegas has long
been famous for appropriating other city’s reference
points, so she should have no problem adding herself to
the famed list of performers in Caesars Palace shows.
Not only a talented singer, Midler has made her way into
cinematic history, as her resume includes Oscar nominations
for her performances in "For the Boys" and "The
Rose." “Wind Beneath My Wings” brought
her the 1989 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, her
third such award. The list also includes 1980’s
Best Pop Vocal Performance Female – for "The
Rose” - and 1973’s Best New Artist. Many of
the songs found in Bette
Midler movies are featured in the Bette Midler in
Las Vegas show.
